The tires of at least 11 Jewish-owned cars were slashed Friday night in the heart of the Jewish community in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and cops suspect that this may have been an anti-Semitic act, police sources told JP Sunday.
Police say they were called Saturday night at around 11 p.m. to 645 Lefferts Avenue, where a 62-year-old Jewish man reported that the tires of his vehicle were slashed sometime over shabbos. Officers started checking around the street to determine whether there were other cars with slashed tires, and they found a total of 11. All of the vehicles were parked on Lefferts Avenue, the sources said.
There weren’t any anti-Semitic statements written on the cars, but since all of the cars are owned by Jewish men and the incidents took place in the center of the Jewish community in Crown Heights, investigators are suspecting that this may be a hate crime.
The Hate Crime Task Force Unit has been notified and is investigating the incident.
Crown Heights Shomrim found a surveillance video on Lefferts Avenue that showed a man in grey clothes, suspected to be the slasher, leaving the scene. There are no other details on the suspect.
Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS or Crown Heights Shomrim at (718) 774-3333.
The whole idea of a hate crime is a foolish, dangerous, secular liberal idea that is a double-edged sword being turned against all religious people by the secularist activists. It was just a crime, regardless of what the criminal was feeling at the time.
The number 11 is the amount of police reports that have been filed, they’re requesting that all others come forward, including ourselves who haven’t gone yet… I saw an entire block of tires slashed + beginning of the next.
On Shabbos we already saw a goy changing his tire. Poor guy. they must have thought his car was Jewish-owned.
* the reason I write that it was a goy is not because I’m profiling. It’s because I don’t want you to think that ch”v a yid was changing his tire on Shabbos!
not slashed all tires were punctured. some multiple times. and yes some were owned by people who were not yiden.
what a bunch of idiots in the Govt!! letting the city fall apart.
The police will only ticket the white man! they run the other way when they see a black man doing wrong! because they probably have a gun or two!
also maybe the city should put these people to work , instead of sending them checks every week for doing nothing! maybe if they were busy working they wouldnt have the time to do evil! take note Mayor!
The poor deprived person was just “Venting” their anger…its all the white mans fault or anyone else who isnt them
What with the tires, the blasting of powerful fireworks through 2 am each and every night for the past week, and the fact that the only response from the police has been to ticket Jewish cars that are parked 9 inches from the curb and other such violations, Crown Heights has truly turned into a free for all. I have to wonder What’s next? They very badly need to be replaced by officers who are prepared to their job.
